trekking in India, one can think of no better
sight than the Himalayas. The northern hills,
especially in Himachal, have plenty of seen and
unseen treks that one can undertake to immerse in

1. Charang Ghati Pass

• The trek to this Ghati is on the difficult side
  but its spectacular for more than the view it
  offers. One, it is cocooned near its starting
  point Kinnaur, which is surrounded by Tibet on
  the east, Garhwal on the south, Spiti Valley on
  the north and Kullu on the west. Second, given
  the diverse cultures around the location, one can
  meet Kinnauri tribe on the way and immerse in
  their language and culture, which is a great
  experience. The base camp for the trek is Reckong
  Po which is accessible by road from Shimla,
  Delhi, and other locations.

2. Darati Pass Trek

• One of the most unexplored treks in Himachal,
  this one takes you to the Pir Panjal range. It
  starts from Chamba and connects Churha valley
  with the Pangi Hills of the Himalayas. The way up
  to the pass is through the Gujjar settlements
  that can be very helpful to track your trail up
  the mountains. The trek starts easy and simple
  but it becomes quite an adventure as you get
  close to the Darati Pass. This trek is in the
  high altitude of 4700 m, which makes it tough but
  spectacular experience. The snow, strong winds
  and even snowfall can be experienced and dealt
  with on the way. The drive to Chamba, no matter
  which route you take is as difficult as the trek
  itself. So, go well prepared and enjoy the beauty
  of the majestic Himalayas!

  adventure and challenges it poses while you enjoy
  the lush green valley in Kullu and the beauty of
  Spiti. The trek links the Pin valley in Spiti and
  the Parvati Valley in Kullu, hence giving it the
  name it has. On the way, you will see thick
